They're already working on a replacement/improvement to yum: DNF. My impression has been mostly positive; it's certainly a lot faster at the dependency resolving part. I'm not sure if it's any better at the initialization and cache refreshing.

It is definitely better however it is still experimental and there are some serious bugs and you might want to be careful.

Since it is command line compatible, I have a bash alias and just pretend it is yum. Works well mostly.
